About us
Make-A-Wish® Arizona is proud to be the state where Make-A-Wish®, the international 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, was founded. Started in 1980 with one Arizona boy’s wish to be a police officer, our Chapter evolved into a dedicated community of volunteers, donors and Arizona families who have worked together to grant more than 6,500 wishes to date. We continue to be trailblazers, with a goal to grant more wishes in Arizona for Arizona children with critical illnesses each fiscal year. We support the Make-A-Wish mission: Together, we create life-changing wishes for Arizona children with critical illnesses. Find out more about Make-A-Wish Arizona, our volunteer opportunities, our supporters and our wish kids by visiting www.arizona.wish.org.

“I love being able to talk about Make-A-Wish with my patients. They just light up… talking about all the things that they can do, and they get so excited. It’s just something so fun to talk about instead of talking about maybe how sick they’re feeling that day.” – Zoie, wish alum 💙 Zoie was in middle school when she was diagnosed with leukemia. After years of treatment, her wish became a beacon of hope, joy, and strength during a difficult time. Zoie shared, “It was something my family could have never gotten to do if it wasn’t for Make-A-Wish.” Today, Zoie has graduated from college and is a pediatric oncology nurse, working at the very hospital where she was treated. Her journey—from wish kid to nurse—is an inspiring testament to her strength and resilience, and the transformative power of a wish. ✨ To Zoie—and all the graduates this year—congratulations! 🎓 Make-A-Wish America | Make-A-Wish® Arizona #TestimonialTuesday

Everyone, please welcome to the team, our newest Diamondback, No. 4 Ben Willis! Friday, we had the incredible honor of making a dream come true with Make-A-Wish® Arizona. From receiving his very own jersey and locker in the clubhouse, to spending time with his favorite players and throwing out the ceremonial first pitch — Ben had the full big-league experience. Moments like these remind us why we love the game. ❤️

“I wish to meet my grandmother in Mexico City for the first time.” 🥰 This Mother’s Day, we’re celebrating all the special women who shape our lives, like they have in Lupita’s. Meet Guadalupe “Lupita.” At 17, she already knew the pain of cancer, having lost her maternal grandmother to the illness. What she didn’t know then, was that she too would face her own battle with cancer. When Make-A-Wish Arizona entered her life, it gave her more than a wish — it gave her the hope of connection, and the chance to meet the family she had only seen through a screen. “I wanted to know if they were real,” Lupita said, imagining the possibility. “Going on a trip is wonderful, but getting the chance to meet my family meant everything.” You can help create more unforgettable memories like Lupita’s wish this Mother’s Day by giving today. 🌟 arizona.wish.org/donate
